Potential is a dirty word...

Stated goal next year is just 50+ games and make the playoffs.

Should have another interesting off season.
They may trade the pick, or up or down...they do not need to get younger...
Besides the 13th pick they have Rudy Fernadez coming over from Spain next
fall.
He would be a higher lottery pick if in the draft this year instead of last
year when it was known a team would have to wait and maybe never get him. He
is turning down about 4 times the money to come to Portland.
Plus next summer, '09, they will be at least 1 and maybe 2 max contracts
under the cap to go free agent shopping. ...
